Not a honest person

I hired his firm a number of years ago after talking to Patricks brother. I was told that he would contact the insurance co and say we wanted $200,000 and then we can settle for $100,000 and they will think they are getting off very good. Just sign the paper. Well I s...igned and the letter he sent the insurance co. was for $20,000 not $200000 and I ended up with $5300 after his cut.He charged $1.00 per copy for every paper he sent out plus other charges that I could not prove he did. He sent about 6 or 7 copies of everything.That totaled hundreds of dollars.After being dragged out a long time I only ended up with a few hundred dollars more then if I would have taken the insurance co offer.I told him I was going to make a complaint against him and he said go ahead because he was on the board that would hear the complaint and he would dismiss it. Well that was one of the truthful things he said. He was on the board and it got dismissed. I would not recommend this firm to anyone. I remember part way thru this his brother gave the case to Patrick and said he was very familiar with this case. NOT! He did not even know what happened in the accident so I had to explain everything about the accident to him. And he was pleading my case for me.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
